Prostate Cancer Survivors and Advocates at IMPaCT

Honoring Men Touched by Prostate Cancer


The planning committee for the Innovative Minds in Prostate Cancer Today Meeting wanted to create a tribute at the meeting to men (and their families) whose lives have been affected by prostate cancer. We created a video loop from photos of survivors and those who have passed on and showed it on large plasma screens in the main hall of the meeting.

We invite you to view this moving video. It reminds us that even after a cancer diagnosis, people continue to live, laugh, and love.
